The Ken Harbaugh Show

Bobby Jones breaks down a major federal court ruling that could reshape the debate over “lawfare” in America and how Veterans are allowed to express themselves. A U.S. District Court judge granted Senator Mark Kelly a preliminary injunction against the Department of Defense in Kelly v. Hegseth, finding he is likely to succeed on his First Amendment retaliation claim. The ruling halted Pentagon actions tied directly to Kelly’s public criticism of military policy — including a Secretarial Letter of Censure, a retirement grade review that could reduce rank and pay, and threats of further enforcement.  When government power intersects with political speech, the First Amendment is tested. And this week, the judiciary reminded the executive branch that the Constitution still applies. Visit https://meidasplus.com for more!

In 2020, Donald Trump lost Georgia — and he has never accepted it. Since then, Fulton County, home of Atlanta, has been at the center of his political grievance campaign. Now, with renewed federal scrutiny and aggressive rhetoric around immigration and voter fraud, serious questions are being raised about what this means for 2026 and 2028. In this video, Atlanta native Bobby Jones break down the facts, the motivations, and the potential consequences. Visit https://meidasplus.com for more!

So-called “moderate” Republicans from swing districts often talk independence—but when it counts, they reliably fall in line with Donald Trump, enabling abuses of power and normalizing extremism. In this episode, Ken Harbaugh explains why defeating fake moderation is essential to restoring real checks and balances—and why voters can’t confuse tone with courage.

Joined by former covert CIA officer Alex Finley, Ken examines how chasing debunked conspiracy theories at home can distract from real national security threats—and what it could mean as the midterms approach.

Ken Harbaugh examines the Trump administration’s emerging doctrine of coercive “gangster” foreign policy, from forced regime change in Venezuela to reported pressure on Mexico to allow U.S. troops to fight cartels on its soil. In part two of his conversation with Army veteran and Vets Fighting Fascism founder Kris Goldsmith, Ken digs into why history shows that intelligence sharing and support for local forces works—and why American boots on the ground in Mexico would be a catastrophic mistake.

In this video, Bobby Jones breaks down why the Trump administration playing with the idea to send ICE agents to the 2026 Winter Olympics in Milan is not about security, but about sending a message — both internationally and domestically. He walks through who has traditionally protected U.S. athletes overseas, why the State Department’s Diplomatic Security Service is far better suited for that role, and why ICE is a dangerous choice given its repeated failures at home. He also shows how this move reflects a broader “might makes right” mentality that prioritizes optics and intimidation over competence, diplomacy, and accountability — and why turning the Olympics into a political calling card should alarm everyone.

In a recent interview with Donald Trump in The New York Times, Trump repeated a familiar claim: that white Americans — particularly white men — have been “treated badly” in modern America. This is not about guilt. It’s about truth. Equality did not take anything away. Retired Navy Commander Bobby Jones explains how the Civil Rights movement challenged unchecked dominance — and that discomfort is now being mislabeled as oppression.
